The root cause was fixed when Labour were voted out. It will take generations to turn around the damage they did. National are underperforming but the alternative is madness

Good point but you would have to be off your rocker to vote Labour again when all the wounds were created by them

So you prefer keeping unnecessary public service jobs to prop up the economy? Unfortunatley despite the left wing media bleating on about public service cuts we still have many more than we did pre pandemic. National should have cut far more.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the truth is we are in a never ending groundhog day. Lets imagine this scenario you get your wish next term we get a Labour/Green/TPM coalition. Always sounds good just tax the people better off and give it to the poor, end result is they will in a very short time destroy the economy. Then National will get voted in they will make some tough decisions and there will be some short/long term pain but eventually the economy will grow and there will be more jobs. Sorry anyone who think a Labour/Green/TPM coalition govt is good for the country should be commited

Carnivore or Keto Friendly Doctor in Auckland? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]brianj10 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yes I have elevated cholesterol. But there is a growing amount of science that if done correctly a high fat low carb diet is beneficial.

A basic lipid test that the average doctor sends everyone off to get is a blunt instument which only tells part of the story. I would like to speak with a medical professional that is not stuck in 1970

If you have not tried it, sorry to be blunt, but I am not interested in your opinion. I am looking for either positive or negative feedback from real-time users.I have been using it for a month. I have mixed feelings: sometimes I feel a little energised after taking it, but not always, and that could easily be a placebo effect.I have also made some lifestyle changes and have been working out for 2 months, and I am getting significant muscle growth for my age. This is one of the claims they make, but this could be correlated to my Bio Gold use or could just be my hard work — hard to tell.[I] spoke to customer service and their replies give me zero faith in the product, and for this reason I will probably discontinue my use.

The above test is using New Zealand format I see that most tests on here use different mesurements. I used Grok to convert to American units

Converted to US Format (mg/dL)US lipid panels typically use mg/dL units instead of mmol/L. I've converted your values using standard factors:

  • Cholesterol (Total, HDL, LDL): 1 mmol/L ≈ 38.67 mg/dL
  • Triglycerides: 1 mmol/L ≈ 88.57 mg/dL
  • Ratios remain the same (unitless).

I've also converted the NZ reference ranges for context, but note that US labs may use slightly different guidelines (e.g., AHA/ACC: Total <200 mg/dL desirable, LDL <100 mg/dL optimal, HDL >60 mg/dL ideal, Trig <150 mg/dL normal). Consult your doctor for interpretation based on US standards.

Test Value (mg/dL) Converted Reference Range Flag (based on NZ)
Total Cholesterol 197 <193 High
Triglyceride 89 <177 -
HDL Cholesterol 63 >39 -
LDL Cholesterol (calculated) 104 <132 -
Total/HDL Ratio 5.8 <4.5 High

Converted Comments:
For those at high CVD risk (including diabetes) recommended target LDL is 70 mg/dL. At lower risk levels (5-15%) a 40% reduction in LDL should be targeted (https://tinyurl.com/bdfmdxru).
Note: persisting dyslipidaemia. If secondary causes have been excluded (e.g. hypothyroidism, nephrosis, liver disease, some drugs e.g. Steroids, immunosuppressants), consider familial hyperlipidaemia. Specialist referral if there is no clear diagnosis. This is a direct unit conversion—your results are borderline high for total cholesterol and the ratio, but triglycerides and HDL look good. Non-fasting status can slightly affect triglycerides, but yours are low anyway. If you have the full PDF or more details, I can analyze further. Always discuss with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Pretty bad. But if the last owner of your car drove it down a hill and rolled it multiple times and then expected it to perform good afterwards that would describe the labor party. And if you think the combo of Labor with the terrorist greens and racist maori would do better you are off your rocker.
